The Scientific Trumpeter

"Outstanding accuracy of trumpet playing and unbelievable quality of sound recording/restoring. Here's Lee Morgan in all his splendor. You can hear every single note he's playing with his unusual scientific way. This is truly a rediscovery of mogie. After so many disappointing compilations from that date, this is the real thing: the Vee Jay glorious recordings of February 1960. I cannot get tired from this double. I think that the second cd of alternate takes is an eye opener to the first cd of the master takes. The separation was a wise thing. Mixing the originals with alternates is annoying and disrupting. Both cd's are essential. Meticulous remastering and editing (at a reasonable price) of this small label set a perfect example and a wonderful case study for other whale-sized labels."
